Highly-rated overnight sitters - Blackwell
“We absolutely loved boarding our wiggle butt, Harriet, with Jade! She was considerate and understanding of Harriet's background of reactivity and took the time to make sure she was comfortable. We loved the videos and pictures we received while we were away from our girl! It is so refreshing to know our dog was in safe, loving hands while we were on our honeymoon. Thank you, Jade, you are an amazing human!”
About: I have been dog owners for over 20 years. I work from home full time. I live on a 5 acre gated property. I have a 2 year old neutered Golden Retriever who loves to play with other dogs. I work from home so I can facilitate potty breaks when needed. I am off work by 4 or 5 everyday and off on weekends. I do have a crate if needed. I do not have a fenced yard so would always walk your pet on a leash. Pets would never be left unsupervised.
“Our dogs had another great stay with Rachell! She is wonderful at providing updates and photos. Our dogs feel safe and comfortable to be themselves. Will use Rachell for future boarding stays.”
“Dave and his wife were great! Excellent communication and flexibility with drop off/pick up times and overall very nice people. It was a pleasure associating with them and Ivy seemed like she had a good time and was comfortable with her stay. Thanks again Dave!!”
“Samantha was terrific!! With relatively little notice she's was able to watch our baby girl Lizzie. We got pictures of her playing and having a great stay while on our vacation. Would not hesitate to have her take care of our fur baby again.”
“Christina was super great. She took great care of Fonzy and Yuri and even helped to do some very basic grooming on Fonzy. He did have a bit of an accident overnight and she was able to handle it and was completely understanding of his nervousness of being somewhere new. If you are hesitant on leaving your dogs someplace I understand. However you can rest easy with Christina. She loves dogs and does a great job with them.”
“Karissa and her family are absolutely amazing. I was very concerned about leaving my 16 year old tree walker hound with anyone. My dog has lots of special needs. She made sure all the meds were taken. She was very caring and sent lots of photos. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Their backyard is amazing. It’s like giving your pet a vacation also.”
“Anthony was a great sitter for our dog Blue. Blue has difficult feeding habits and Anthony was able to feed him well. We will be sending Blue to Anthony in the future.”
“Shane was awesome! He kept us updated the entire time with pictures and videos. He has a really nice yard that Leo LOVED. I never seen him so happy. 100% worth the drive. He really care for Leo. He even brought him out to us and gave Leo goodbye kisses!”
“Nikki is AMAZING and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Rover sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur children are safe, happy, and entertained while in her care. Quigley loves going to boarding or daycare with Nikki and her fur babies! Plus Quigley always comes back to me tired from all of the play and fun he has had! Can’t wait for our next stay with Nikki”
“Haley made sure I had absolutely NO worries while boarding my little man for a week with her!! Piece of mind is so important, and Haley certainly provides that and lots of love! 💕”
“Sherry was great! She was very kind, easy to communicate with, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. Our dog instantly loved being there, I could tell he was very well taken care of.”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Davey was a great sitter for our dog. She's kind or shy, and more of a people person than a dog person, but she did great for a full week with Davey! Would definitely use him again!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I grew up with large-breed dogs and have loved dogs my entire life. When I moved out on my own, adopting a dog was one of the first things I did! I currently have three resident dogs, all of whom I trained myself. Two of the three have severe separation anxiety, so I'm quite well-versed in some of the behavioral traits that come along with that. For the past two years, I've also been actively involved in the dog rescue world by fostering. I've fostered 12 dogs ranging from young puppies who needed to learn the basics to adult dogs who came with more challenging behavioral needs such as resource guarding. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, and adaptable with every dog I care for. I understand that not every dog is going to walk into a new environment perfectly behaved, and I genuinely enjoy meeting them where they are and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a perfectly behaved adult, or somewhere in between, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My resident dogs still rule my daily routine. Your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day/night and can have potty breaks as consistently as needed. I've house trained seven puppies over the past two years, so I'm very used to frequent potty breaks if that's something your pup needs. Otherwise, every 2-4 hours is pretty consistent with the routine my resident dogs are on. I've fostered dogs with a variety of different needs and have always worked it into my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, so I'm happy to adapt my approach to each dog's individual needs and your preferences as a pet parent. I do have three resident dogs in my home, all of whom are extremely dog friendly. Ideally, dogs staying in my home will be comfortable around other dogs, but I understand that not every dog wants or needs constant interaction. I have a separate guest room that I've previously used for foster dogs who needed some quiet time or a slower introduction. If your pup needs their own space, they can have a dedicated area away from my resident dogs while still having plenty of company - I work from home, and the guest room also serves as my home office. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always taken outside on a leash. I also have a long line that allows fogs more freedom to sniff, explore, and play while remaining safely contained. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether your dog is staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home. When caring for a dog in your home, I'll follow your instructions and do my best to maintain your pup's normal routine, including feeding, medication, walks, potty breaks, and any other care they're accustomed to. My priority is always safety, communication, and making sure your pup feels comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I've had people care for my own dogs while I've been away, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum - sitters who went above and beyond and sitters who left me wishing I'd been there myself. I know how important it is to maintain a dog's routine and give them the same care and attention they're used to. My own dogs are basically my children, so I know exactly what level of care I'd want for them. That's the same standard I'll bring to caring for yours!
About: My husband and I will be working together to host doggy day care and boarding. With both of our schedules we will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Hi, I’m Bree! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 8 years I’ve worked professionally caring for them in many different settings. I spent 5 years working as a veterinary technician, giving me experience with medications, animal behavior, emergency situations, and CPR. I’ve worked with small animals, exotics, wildlife, and large animals, and I’ve also fostered countless puppies and kittens over the years. Because of my background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs — whether that means an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for like family while they’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your animals, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I meet. I love to hear about owners caretaking strategies so that I’m able to duplicate those qualities! We want to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.

“Diane was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies were happy and comfortable in my home. She sent photos daily and kept me up to date! I have always felt nervous about leaving my babies with a house sitter, but Diane made me feel completely at ease. I will definitely be using Diane again in the future!”
“Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles for about 10+ years. I have worked at a kennel before taking care of dogs and cats that were boarded! I have also worked at a vet clinic as a vet tech assistant for a few months. I love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable and while their family is away! I currently work part time and go to school but it’s a flexible schedule so I will make plenty of time for your fur baby! I will not be offering your pets to stay at my own home however I can ensure you I will be over at your house caring for your pets and watching them when I am not at work or school. I can also send updates every day. I used to work at a vet so I’m familiar with precautions and safety for your fur babies. I’ve also had a dog of my own for 5 years and I had one for 11 years before my fur baby now!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have extensive experience with working and high-energy breeds, especially German Shepherds. I currently own German Shepherds of my own and walk them daily, so I truly understand the physical and mental exercise needs these dogs require to stay healthy, calm, and well-behaved. What sets me apart is my ability to confidently handle strong, energetic dogs while prioritizing safety. I focus on structured walks that provide appropriate energy release without overexertion, helping reduce stress on joints and prevent injuries. I’m attentive to body language, pacing, and environment to ensure each walk is both enriching and safe. I’m comfortable with puppies who need consistency and guidance, as well as senior dogs who benefit from slower, thoughtful movement. Whether your dog needs a solid workout or a calm, steady walk, I adjust care to meet their individual needs — treating every dog with patience, respect, and reliability. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to offer pet care during typical workday hours when many owners are away. Because I’m home and nearby throughout the day, I have the flexibility to provide consistent walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care without rushing or overbooking. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs — whether that’s mid-day walks, potty breaks, or extra attention during longer workdays. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present during each visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding according to instructions, providing fresh water, structured walks or potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of positive attention. I pay close attention to body language and energy levels to ensure each pet gets the right balance of activity and rest. For walks, I prioritize safe handling, appropriate pacing, and environmental awareness — especially for strong or high-energy dogs. I always secure leashes properly and adjust the walk based on the dog’s age, temperament, and needs.
About: I have had pets all my life. Cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hampsters.. the list goes on. I was in Human healthcare and found its not much different. I can help with your pet care needs. My work schedule can be flexible so I can adjust it to fit most pet needs so you can plan that vacation free from worry. I have a fenced in area and a designated space in my house I call the “pet room” . My house resembles someone who has a 2 yr old but instead of kid toys and beds it’s dog and cat toys.
“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I’m a Big advocate on animal rescue. I have watched friends and families animals when they go out of town. I currently work part time as a server. I would like to transition into pet care full-time. after the new year. Making myself available to come to you is something I think is important so you and your pet feel more comfortable in your own surroundings. I would care for your pet in your home along with your pet routine. I know how important it is for your pet to stay on their routine.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Blackwell
About: I bring years of hands-on experience in animal care, including working as a behavior modification dog trainer and spending many years in veterinary medicine. This background allows me to understand not only canine behavior, but also health, safety, and early signs of medical concerns. I’m highly enthusiastic about canine fitness and nutrition, and I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm, attentive care, I provide a safe, knowledgeable, and compassionate experience. Your pet’s well-being—both physical and mental—is always my top priority. I’m home full-time, so boarded dogs receive constant supervision, structure, and individualized care. My days are centered around caring for dogs, which allows me to safely manage multiple boarding dogs with different needs, energy levels, and routines. Each dog receives a balanced routine of exercise, enrichment, and rest in a calm, structured environment. I closely monitor behavior, maintain safe group dynamics, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention to ensure every dog feels secure and comfortable during their stay. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I maintain a structured, calm household designed to meet the needs of a wide range of dogs. I have multiple separate rooms available for dogs who do not do well with other animals, allowing them to relax comfortably without stress. For dogs who enjoy social time, there is plenty of space for safe interaction and movement. I require dogs to be crate trained overnight or reliably potty trained with an established routine, which helps ensure safety, cleanliness, and consistency for everyone in my care. My home includes a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. While structure is an important part of my household, dogs also enjoy playtime, enrichment, and appropriate freedom based on their individual needs and comfort level. With my experience and environment, I provide a safe, attentive, and well-managed space where dogs can feel secure and well cared for.
“Karissa was absolutely amazing made the drop off and pick up very easy. This was Rivers first time with someone else that he didn’t know. She took amazing care of him. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Rene and Gary”

“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”
About: I had my own personal dogs for over 20 years in total but do not currently have any pets. As my schedule allows, I help out with short-term fostering for a rescue that I adopted two of my dogs from. All 3 of my dogs ended up with health issues in their old age so I have plenty of experience giving medications, feeding special diets, assisting with mobility issues, etc. Because my boy was dog reactive, I became a master at 'crate/gate/separate' when fostering while he was alive. However, I intend to only sit animals that are from the same home at one time so the animals do not face any restrictions needing to avoid animals they do not live with. I work from home (day job) so I will be around most of the time during the care dates with the exception of any planned events outside of the home (which likely would not be more than a few hours at a time). I have a fenced yard (4 feet) for quick potty breaks (I do not leave dogs unattended in my yard). For walks, I can use a double leash/collar if needed for extra security. I do have a shared fence line with a neighbor dog that is reactive so, when needed, I run a line of chicken wire to keep dogs in my yard from being able to reach that fence. The neighbor’s dog is my primary reason for marking ‘no’ to un-spayed/neutered. I don’t leave any dogs I watch unattended in my back yard but he’s a Cane Corso that’s not neutered and my fence is only 4ft tall so I figured better safe than sorry.
About: I have trained puppies and have had multiple pets. My friends are always asking me to help with their animals, even financially. I love the meet and greets and spending my time with animals! I am only Doordashing right now for work and pet sitting so my hours are very flexible! I am pregnant though! But that has no effect because my boyfriend tends to help me with the animals so that your animal is busy all day when he is home and I try to spend some time Dashing! We have ample time for any hour for feedings, walks, playtime, or potty breaks! I am safe and reliable. Always on my toes and ready for a fun day with a pet. I hope you will entrust me. I do not steal and or trash anywhere I go.
About: Hi friends, I’m Lucy! I am a long time animal lover and have grown up around dogs, cats, and farm animals. In the past I was lucky enough to gain experience working with veterinarians in both large animal and small animal practices, and I loved every minute of it. I can assure you that providing quality care for your pet is my number one priority. I work from home, so I will be able to do lots of playtime and walks as well. If I sound like a good fit for your needs, feel free to contact me with details and I will get back to you as quickly as possible. I am currently working from home which means my schedule is very flexible for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of pictures while you’re gone! I have a fenced-in yard for playtime at my house and a mini dachshund who can be kept separately if needed during your pet’s stay.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied upon me to watch their dogs on many occasions. I work during the day, and able to watch dogs 3pm and after every day during the week and available during the weekends as well. I have a fenced in yard so we can play and hangout inside the house or outside with comfort. Always a good time with me

About: I have a lifelong passion for animal care combined with a professional background in healthcare. Holding active certifications in Basic Life Support (BLS) and medication administration, caregiving is truly second nature to me. At home, my life is happily run by my own diverse fur family: a high-energy 3-year-old German Shepherd, a sweet senior miniature dachshund, and a cat. Living with this wonderful crew means I don't just understand pet care in theory—I live it every day. I know exactly what it takes to securely walk and handle a powerful, large breed; how to gently accommodate the slower pace and fragile back of a senior small dog; and how to respect the independent boundaries of a cat. My goal is to provide total peace of mind for pet parents. Whether your dog needs a brisk midday walk or your cat needs a quiet, comforting drop-in visit, I approach every pet with the same patience, clinical attentiveness, and love that I give to my human patients and my own animals. Because of my formal medical training, I am entirely comfortable, calm, and precise when administering oral medications, managing specific dietary needs, or monitoring senior pets with health or mobility challenges. I pride myself on punctuality, clear communication, and keeping your home exactly as you left it. You'll always get detailed updates and plenty of photos from our visits! Since pet care is my full-time focus, I have open and flexible availability throughout the day to give your pups all the attention, playtime, and care they need! Whether it's walks, or check-ins, I am fully dedicated to keeping your pets happy and safe on any schedule. I provide drop-in care exclusively in your home, ensuring your pet's established routine and safety are my absolute priorities. I also offer walks! With a professional background in medical care, I am exceptionally observant, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable administering medications or managing specific health routines. I treat your home with complete respect, ensuring a secure, stress-free environment during every visit.
About: I enjoy dog walks and play. I love to also be able to groom if need be to keep our fur babies happy and healthy and looking good! Cuddle time is my favorite time too! Monday through Thursday I work a split shift where I normally have 11am-2pm available to do any running I need to do. I have Fridays completely off from my full time job as well! My pups get fed twice a day, and my cats get one big full bowl to munch on through the day. I clean my little boxes 2-3 times a week and I also go into my yard to clean up dog poo as well! Our pets get so much love and cuddles, along with weekly baths! They love to through around the ball, or play tug or war!
About: I have always had dogs and cats. I did have a bird for a little while. I also currently have chickens, turtles, fish and a tortoise. I love to play fetch, or cuddle up with a furball. I schedule my time to allow plenty of time for each visit. I'm currently available most days of the week to care for your pets. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs would be kept downstairs while your dog is in the house. I also have a couple crates if needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. Cats can be put in bedrooms if needed for a short time.
About: My house is full of love we love all pets big and small we have chinchillas, birds, cats and my dogs and they will surely keep your pets entertained they are friendly with almost everyone and the indoor and indoor/outdoor cats have been around many dogs and other animals with no problems in addition the rodents and birds areas can be closed off so your pet has no experience with those animals to keep all pets happy and healthy. Also for pet sitting I offer multi pet family discounts because as someone with many pets I get it pet care can be expensive. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with cows, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, dogs and cats. Starting in 2020 I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 9 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have extensive experience with working and high-energy breeds, especially German Shepherds. I currently own German Shepherds of my own and walk them daily, so I truly understand the physical and mental exercise needs these dogs require to stay healthy, calm, and well-behaved. What sets me apart is my ability to confidently handle strong, energetic dogs while prioritizing safety. I focus on structured walks that provide appropriate energy release without overexertion, helping reduce stress on joints and prevent injuries. I’m attentive to body language, pacing, and environment to ensure each walk is both enriching and safe. I’m comfortable with puppies who need consistency and guidance, as well as senior dogs who benefit from slower, thoughtful movement. Whether your dog needs a solid workout or a calm, steady walk, I adjust care to meet their individual needs — treating every dog with patience, respect, and reliability. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to offer pet care during typical workday hours when many owners are away. Because I’m home and nearby throughout the day, I have the flexibility to provide consistent walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care without rushing or overbooking. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs — whether that’s mid-day walks, potty breaks, or extra attention during longer workdays. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present during each visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding according to instructions, providing fresh water, structured walks or potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of positive attention. I pay close attention to body language and energy levels to ensure each pet gets the right balance of activity and rest. For walks, I prioritize safe handling, appropriate pacing, and environmental awareness — especially for strong or high-energy dogs. I always secure leashes properly and adjust the walk based on the dog’s age, temperament, and needs.
About: Welcome! We are a passionate, animal-loving mother-daughter team ready to give your pets the royal treatment. My lifelong love for animals started with my childhood beagles, followed by a schnauzer, and has grown to include four dogs of my own, a guinea pig, a bearded dragon, and numerous fish! We are starting this venture this summer to help my daughter build her skills and chase her lifelong dream. Ever since she was 4 years old, she has wanted to be a veterinarian—she even has a master plan to build a vet practice and a petting zoo on the exact same property! I love her animal-loving spirit and want to support her dream in every way I can. We work as a dedicated team she will be taking the profits and placing them into her savings account), so rest assured that your fur babies will truly become our fur babies while they are in our care. We can't wait to meet your pets! . Whether your dog needs a structured routine, midday walks, or just lots of couch cuddles and companionship, we have the flexibility to match their exact needs. Because our own dog prefers to be an 'only child' and a single-sibling fur baby, we exclusively offer care in your home! When you trust us with your pets, my daughter and I will treat your home with the utmost respect, exactly as if it were our own. For House Sitting, we adapt entirely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

For Drop-In Visits or Walks, we ensure they get plenty of exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, and of course, lots of love. We also always make sure your home is secure before we leave and will send you plenty of photo updates so you can see how much fun we are having!
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles for about 10+ years. I have worked at a kennel before taking care of dogs and cats that were boarded!

I currently work part time and go to school but it’s a flexible schedule so I will make plenty of time for your fur baby! I will not be offering your pets to stay at my own home however I can ensure you I will be over at your house caring for your pets and watching them when I am not at work or school. I can also send updates every day. I used to work at a vet so I’m familiar with precautions and safety for your fur babies. I’ve also had a dog of my own for 5 years and I had one for 11 years before my fur baby now!

I'll keep the house how it was left when you're away and I'll take great care of your pets! I'll make sure they get what they need at home and on walks.

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. Most recently raising a German shepherd for the last 10 years! I love long walks with the pups and tending to their needs. My days start and end with walks, so the pup will accompany me on all of those or spend time in the backyard while I garden. I have a fence where the dog can have ample space to run around and roam free. Or they can relax inside during the hot summer days.
About: I love dogs! All dogs... big, small, smelly, playful. I have experience caring for my own dogs as well as other's. Dogs generally love me as well. I learned most of what I know about caring for dogs from The Dog Whisperer. He really knows his stuff! Does your dog need walks and some extra training? I can handle that no problem and really enjoy seeing a dog respond to training and play. I use positive reinforcement while working with dogs. I love walking for fitness and love it even more when I have a pup to join me. While pet sitting, I can also care for plants, etc. I enjoy gardening so if you have a garden and require house/pet sitting, consider me your person! My schedule is very flexible. I currently work gig jobs and freelance, remote accounting projects. If I am house/pet sitting for you I can accommodate whatever schedule your animals usually follow. I will follow whatever rules/instructions are laid out for me. Safety is number 1 and I am sure to keep owners updated on any issues promptly.
About: I have experience in ALL animals even farm animals. I have loved animals from a very young age. Animals are my specialty. There is nothing I love more. I have full time availability to care for your pets! I work part time but pets are allowed at my work if necessary. My neighborhood is pet friendly and I have a fenced yard with puppy panels for small animals. Animal care makes me happy and i’m available for any of your needs. I have a fenced yard and a nice pet friendly neighborhood to go on walks. I can come to my clients home as well and take them for walks or feed and water them. I am available to do anything.
About: I’ve grown up around big and small dogs all my life. I have also been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors and love to take my German shepherd on runs. I live at home right now and am taking one class online and work-part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pets and snuggle them. I make sure the animal will stay within boundaries if they have to stay in a fence and will make sure that they get all meds needed or food on time.
“We have used Barbara multiple times. She always communicates well and is extremely nice to our dog. We appreciate having someone so reliable and never have any doubts about the care and attention given to our dog. Would absolutely recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of and raised dogs since I was young. From family pets to pack type dogs on farms that I worked with. I walk and play with my dog River a ton everyday. We typically walk 2-4 miles a day if the weather is nice. He is wonderful with other dogs and has tons of friends, from puppies to older dogs. I have plenty of crate training and on leash experience. I can also separate the animals easily without crates if needed. I am currently available for full time pet care. Let me know what works best for you. Weekends are usually the easiest for me, but no preference overall. Scheduling further in advance is preferred but not necessary. I’m typically up and walking my dog by 7:30 am so any routine or communication works fine with me. Typically I wake up and let the dogs outside immediately. Then play a little, then it’s breakfast time according to the dogs’ feeding schedule. After breakfast I usually relax and pet the dogs awhile before taking them on a walk that’s best suited for them. I also have a nice fenced in yard for them.

About: I have 10 plus years of experience training, breeding, and caring for dogs aging puppy to adult years and small to medium size. My family previously owned a dog boarding kennel in which we provided obedience training, leash training, and anger management and redirecting negative behaviors.

“We absolutely loved boarding our wiggle butt, Harriet, with Jade! She was considerate and understanding of Harriet's background of reactivity and took the time to make sure she was comfortable. We loved the videos and pictures we received while we were away from our girl! It is so refreshing to know our dog was in safe, loving hands while we were on our honeymoon. Thank you, Jade, you are an amazing human!”
About: I have been dog owners for over 20 years. I work from home full time. I live on a 5 acre gated property. I have a 2 year old neutered Golden Retriever who loves to play with other dogs. I work from home so I can facilitate potty breaks when needed. I am off work by 4 or 5 everyday and off on weekends. I do have a crate if needed. I do not have a fenced yard so would always walk your pet on a leash. Pets would never be left unsupervised.
“Our dogs had another great stay with Rachell! She is wonderful at providing updates and photos. Our dogs feel safe and comfortable to be themselves. Will use Rachell for future boarding stays.”
“Dave and his wife were great! Excellent communication and flexibility with drop off/pick up times and overall very nice people. It was a pleasure associating with them and Ivy seemed like she had a good time and was comfortable with her stay. Thanks again Dave!!”
“Samantha was terrific!! With relatively little notice she's was able to watch our baby girl Lizzie. We got pictures of her playing and having a great stay while on our vacation. Would not hesitate to have her take care of our fur baby again.”
“Christina was super great. She took great care of Fonzy and Yuri and even helped to do some very basic grooming on Fonzy. He did have a bit of an accident overnight and she was able to handle it and was completely understanding of his nervousness of being somewhere new. If you are hesitant on leaving your dogs someplace I understand. However you can rest easy with Christina. She loves dogs and does a great job with them.”
“Karissa and her family are absolutely amazing. I was very concerned about leaving my 16 year old tree walker hound with anyone. My dog has lots of special needs. She made sure all the meds were taken. She was very caring and sent lots of photos. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Their backyard is amazing. It’s like giving your pet a vacation also.”
“Anthony was a great sitter for our dog Blue. Blue has difficult feeding habits and Anthony was able to feed him well. We will be sending Blue to Anthony in the future.”
“Shane was awesome! He kept us updated the entire time with pictures and videos. He has a really nice yard that Leo LOVED. I never seen him so happy. 100% worth the drive. He really care for Leo. He even brought him out to us and gave Leo goodbye kisses!”
“Nikki is AMAZING and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Rover sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur children are safe, happy, and entertained while in her care. Quigley loves going to boarding or daycare with Nikki and her fur babies! Plus Quigley always comes back to me tired from all of the play and fun he has had! Can’t wait for our next stay with Nikki”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Davey was a great sitter for our dog. She's kind or shy, and more of a people person than a dog person, but she did great for a full week with Davey! Would definitely use him again!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I grew up with large-breed dogs and have loved dogs my entire life. When I moved out on my own, adopting a dog was one of the first things I did! I currently have three resident dogs, all of whom I trained myself. Two of the three have severe separation anxiety, so I'm quite well-versed in some of the behavioral traits that come along with that. For the past two years, I've also been actively involved in the dog rescue world by fostering. I've fostered 12 dogs ranging from young puppies who needed to learn the basics to adult dogs who came with more challenging behavioral needs such as resource guarding. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, and adaptable with every dog I care for. I understand that not every dog is going to walk into a new environment perfectly behaved, and I genuinely enjoy meeting them where they are and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a perfectly behaved adult, or somewhere in between, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My resident dogs still rule my daily routine. Your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day/night and can have potty breaks as consistently as needed. I've house trained seven puppies over the past two years, so I'm very used to frequent potty breaks if that's something your pup needs. Otherwise, every 2-4 hours is pretty consistent with the routine my resident dogs are on. I've fostered dogs with a variety of different needs and have always worked it into my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, so I'm happy to adapt my approach to each dog's individual needs and your preferences as a pet parent. I do have three resident dogs in my home, all of whom are extremely dog friendly. Ideally, dogs staying in my home will be comfortable around other dogs, but I understand that not every dog wants or needs constant interaction. I have a separate guest room that I've previously used for foster dogs who needed some quiet time or a slower introduction. If your pup needs their own space, they can have a dedicated area away from my resident dogs while still having plenty of company - I work from home, and the guest room also serves as my home office. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always taken outside on a leash. I also have a long line that allows fogs more freedom to sniff, explore, and play while remaining safely contained. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether your dog is staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home. When caring for a dog in your home, I'll follow your instructions and do my best to maintain your pup's normal routine, including feeding, medication, walks, potty breaks, and any other care they're accustomed to. My priority is always safety, communication, and making sure your pup feels comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I've had people care for my own dogs while I've been away, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum - sitters who went above and beyond and sitters who left me wishing I'd been there myself. I know how important it is to maintain a dog's routine and give them the same care and attention they're used to. My own dogs are basically my children, so I know exactly what level of care I'd want for them. That's the same standard I'll bring to caring for yours!
About: My husband and I will be working together to host doggy day care and boarding. With both of our schedules we will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Hi, I’m Bree! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 8 years I’ve worked professionally caring for them in many different settings. I spent 5 years working as a veterinary technician, giving me experience with medications, animal behavior, emergency situations, and CPR. I’ve worked with small animals, exotics, wildlife, and large animals, and I’ve also fostered countless puppies and kittens over the years. Because of my background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs — whether that means an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for like family while they’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your animals, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I meet. I love to hear about owners caretaking strategies so that I’m able to duplicate those qualities! We want to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.
